The Hanwha Eagles won the professional baseball league by scoring three runs at once with a squeeze bunt. The batter with the squeeze bunt came home at once. The rare "three-point squeeze" was Jang Jin-hyuk (31), an outfielder pushed by head coach Kim Kyung-moon.
Jang Jin-hyuk started as the second batter center fielder in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League KT Wiz at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 4th and contributed to Hanwha's 13-5 comeback victory by playing 2 hits, 1 RBI, 2 runs and 1 stolen base in 4 at-bats.
After striking out swinging at his first batter's box in the bottom of the first inning, Jang had a heavy hit in the top of the third inning with one out and no runners on the base when his team was losing 1-5, before successfully stealing second base. He then homered on Jonathan Peraza's double to right-center, setting the stage for his pursuit.
He tied the game with a superb squeeze bunt hit at the bottom of the fourth inning with runners on the first and third bases with one out. Dan Burnt rolled to the right side of the pitcher at the first pitch. Safety squeeze, not Suicide squeeze. Third baseman Lee Sang-hyuk, who started after seeing the bunt hit, quickly came home, and Jang Jin-hyuk also lived on the first base with fast feet.
In the process, a series of rare scenes emerged. KT pitcher Kim Min-soo threw to the first base, but second baseman Shin Bon-ki, who came in with the base cover, couldn't catch it. He headed to right fielder Jung Joon-young, who came in to back up the ball that was deflected to the right after being hit by the glove.
However, while Jung Joon-young couldn't catch the ball at once and fumbled, Hwang Young-mook, the first baseman, passed the second and third bases and jumped home. Jung Joon-young's home throw, which was in a hurry, was also ambiguous. I entered the short-bound in front of the catcher, but Jang Sung-woo couldn't catch it and dropped it back. The high-bouncing ball headed toward the backnet, but pitcher Kim Min-soo was also late in home backup while watching the situation.
In the meantime, the batter who passed the second and third bases, Jang Jin-hyuk also made a home run. Jang's squeeze bunt hit resulted in three runs at once. Jang's record is an RBI bunt hit. KT's Shin Bon-ki's catch error and Jung Joon-young's catch and throw error were repeated, completing a rare "bunt three run."
After the game, Jang said, "It was a safety squeeze bunt, but I thought I could buy it, so I ran hard to the first base, and the ball fell out. When I saw that there was no home cover on the way to the third base, I thought, "If the ball falls out again, I will run home," but I really fell in and scored. This is the first time I have experienced this since I started baseball. I was so happy that I wanted to celebrate." Jang Jin-hyuk, who is usually quiet and taciturn, does not change his expression much, but he couldn't help but laugh at this rare bunt three-run.
It was all the more meaningful because it was a bunt three-run, which directly led to the team's victory. Thanks to Jang's performance, Hanwha also came from behind to win the game 13-5 from 1-5. It lost three consecutive games and ended the first half in a good mood, laying the groundwork for its counterattack in the second half. It is only 3.5 games apart from fifth-ranked SSG. 토토사이트
Jang Jin-hyuk, a right-handed and left-handed outfielder who joined Hanwha as the 39th overall pick in the second round of the fourth round in 2016, received quite a few opportunities in the first division, but has yet to display his potential. However, he began to show his presence by finishing the first 39 games of this season with a batting average of 252 (28 hits in 111 at-bats), three homers, 18 RBIs, 26 runs scored, 13 walks, 31 strikeouts and a .339 OPS.708 slugging percentage.
Although he failed to make the opening entry, he has increased his chances to select players in the first team since mid-May. Notably, he has played 22 out of 25 games since Kim took the helm last month. He has started 17 games and is undergoing tests as a key outfielder. Manager Kim Kyung-moon, who prefers speedy players, is using Jang Jin-hyuk as his table setter. Since Kim's inauguration, he has shown slightly better performance than his performance in the season with a batting average of 275 (19 hits in 69 times at bat), one homer, 13 RBIs, 15 runs and three steals.
Hanwha finished ninth in the first half, but is only 3.5 games apart from fifth-ranked SSG. Jang Jin-hyuk's steady performance in the outfield is necessary to stage a match against the fifth-place team in the second half. "Looking back on the first half, there were some parts that were left to be desired, but I will fill it up well in the second half to finish the season. In the second half of the year, I will contribute a lot to the team so that I and the team can have good results," he said.
